I absolutely love this podcast. Listen to it every morning when I walk my dogs. I find myself stopping to forward episodes to friends I grew up with. Great diversity of topics and great insights into the stories behind the music. I’ve been trying to come up with my top 10 song list based on that episode. I’ve shared that with my son and my father and several friends. Keep up the great work.

Hi there my guy.
I’ve had to find more of your stuff cuz I watched every YouTube video on your site there.
Loved everyone. Your content w/ Ace Freely from KISS was amazing so sad to hear him say that he is ready to go for another 5,10,15years cuz he’s got good genes. And the next year after your video he died…. We lost a lot of my heroes this year and ACE just put a cap on it. Please keep it up and you will be missed if you stop anytime soon.
Thank you for all you do it’s all appreciate... more

I sincerely appreciate the recognition of Jeff Lynne’s greatness in your review. I don’t feel you concentrated enough on Lynne’s gift of melody in his writing. All the rest of what he is would not be possible if you took that away. Every so often someone in pop music comes along whose gift of melody is obvious (McCartney, Dylan, Carole King, more recently Prince). Jeff Lynne is in that company.
Anyway, I appreciate and enjoy your your work. And by the way, all of Pink Floyd instead of ELO? Maybe... more
